เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง

 On her own quest for self-discovery, Denise Brown was tasked to review her family history, gathered some struggles and triumphs, and wanted to share how her ancestors’ choices created behavior-building blocks for future generations, some good and some not so good. As in most African American families, spirituality was the foundation for living a selfless existence. But at some point, we all realize we are selfish and want our egos stroked.

This book illustrated how siblings raised by the same parents had similar yet different outcomes. In the early 1920s–1960s, African Americans were striving for their piece of the American pie.
